Is grief the price of love, or is it the proof that love was real?

A close friend of mine passed away in an accident. His wife is inconsolable, completely shattered by the loss. I don’t know what words can truly comfort her. All I can do is stay by her side and let her know she isn’t alone. Beyond that, I’m unsure what else I can do.

Grief is the price of love — because wherever there is deep attachment, there is vulnerability to loss.
And grief is the proof love was real — because we don’t grieve what never mattered to us.
